I've had this amp for around 10 years & in that time its seen only rehearsal and studio use. The back plate serial number is 10635B which, according to the engineer's book (see photo) dates this to 1964.The amp has all the original Transformers and Speakers and only a couple of replaced transistors following a service by http://www.chambonino.com/ I put all new power and pre-amp valves in about 5 years ago all sourced from https://www.watfordvalves.com/According to handwritten notes in the chassis, the amp was re-covered in 1976 and down the years some-one has added a footswitch jack to operate the Vib/Trem. All the Channels work well as does the Vib/Trem settings. I have the second handle that is "missing" from the photos - unfortunately one of the screw holes for it has broken.This is a lovely amp which I'm only selling to finance moving into the world of Double Bass. I don't see why I couldn't ship internationally - but please ask me for a quote for shipping to your country.Any questions please drop me a line.
